"The former 28th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Queen starred at LSU during their national championship run before growing into a productive linebacker for the Ravens, being named to the second-team All-Pro in 2023. Despite that, Baltimore let him walk in free agency, partly due to their trade and subsequent extension for Roquan Smith."
"A one-year starter at LSU, Queen was an inside linebacker in former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda's 3-4 scheme. His first career start came vs. Alabama in 2018 when Devin White was sidelined (due to a targeting penalty) and he steadily grew into one of LSU's top defensive performers, playing 89.5% of defensive snaps over the second half of the 2019 season."
"One of the youngest players in the draft, Queen has outstanding play speed and can run all day, smoothly transferring his weight and closing with purpose. He is still developing his stack-shed ability."
The Cowboys remained inactive at linebacker during the initial free agency period while other teams quickly signed top options. Patrick Queen emerged as a potential trade candidate from the Steelers, with discussions suggesting a late Day 3 draft pick as compensation. Queen, a former 28th overall pick in 2020, excelled at LSU and earned second-team All-Pro honors with Baltimore in 2023 before the Ravens released him. He subsequently signed with Pittsburgh but has underperformed. Cowboys fans expressed skepticism, comparing him to Kenneth Murray, though this assessment overlooks Queen's proven college pedigree and early NFL success.
